Wcylcr Goes to the Front
Havana Cat Jen Weyler after a
stormy passage on a coasting steamer from
3Iaii7anillo arrived in Santiago de Cuba
Qloiiday In addressing the local authori
ties in the palace of Santiago de Cuba
Capt Gen Weyler explained that he was
coming to pacify that part of the island
and that though he was strongly desirous
of peace his system of making war was to
jc rigorous toward the rebels who re
tfuse to accept the clemency which Spain
through him offered them The general
added
Notwithstanding the examples in rigor
-set by other colonial nations 1 attend to
nhe reconstruction of the wealth ot the
island This was the purpose which in
spired my labt decrees and I propose to
continue this policy although I have been
compelled in some instances to counte
nance destruction owing to the fact that
circumstances have made it necessary in
some cases to destroy the resources of the
xehels
The captain general then referred to the
sincerity of the Spanish government in its
desire to introduce reforms in Cuba con
cluding with the remark I come to bring
peace or war If the former is accepted
-we will then return to the law But if the
latter is desired behind me come forty
battalions of troops
ABDICATION STORY REVIVED
TSaid the Prince of Wales Will Soon
Succeed Victoria
Zsew Yoiik A London cable says Sir
JVsbmead Bartlett repeats in his paper
England the rumor regarding the queens
proposed abdication lie says
-Information reaches us from a source
nisually reliable that it is the intention of
Jier majesty to retire at an early date from
active rule in favor of the Prince of
Wales
Stories of abdication have been rife dur
ing jubilee week but are not generally
accepted Many important official steps
-would be necessary It would upset
things more here than a presidential elec
tion does in the United States There are
those who predict a business panic in case
lhe Prince of Wales becomes king The
jubilee showed that Queen Victoria is the
tonly woman on earth with 5000000 lovers
and while Wales undoubtedly is popxilar
it is not likely that his peculiar life has
given the British public confidence in his
ability to rule

the power of speech Although he took
his seat unaided his associates felt that
grave possibilities were involved in such
an attack They were quickly by his side
